Two Hands Cafe

There's this little cafe called Two Hands Cafe located in Little Italy, NYC that I've been interested in trying for a long time. I had plans to have lunch and coffee with a friend, but they ended up showing up late so instead of just waiting around I decided to experience the cafe by myself.

Gorgeous, white interior, natural light, and very inviting/trendy, and just super chill and hip customers. The cafe is quite small with limited space and the wait can be anywhere from 1-1.5 hour, so be prepared. I arrived on a late Friday afternoon and it was very crowded, but luckily I got a seat with no problem.

Matcha Latte

I ordered the Matcha Latte ($5.00) which was served in a mason jar, no surprise there. The matcha latte was unsweetened, but very refreshing and great to have on a warm-ish day. It tasted slightly like cinnamon because there was cinnamon sprinkled on top of the matcha latte.

The Good Life Salad

I also tried The Good Life Salad ($13.00) which was baby spinach, carrot, chickpeas, quinoa, golden raisins, sunflower seeds, and avocado with mint pesto. The salad was a little pricey, but very good and super filling! The mint pesto gave the salad a refreshing taste to it and the combination of the sunflower seeds and avocado gave the salad a nutty flavor to it. Loved it!

Overall, I enjoyed my little, solo dining experience at Two Hands. Two Hands is focused mostly on creating healthy, simple, and delicious. It's definitely a place worth coming with a friend or someone that enjoys healthy, delicious food and a relaxing and mellow atmosphere. I definitely want to come back here soon, but with a friend next time for sure.

If you haven't noticed already there's been a huge boom of hot pot (shabu shabu) restaurants and more and more people are going out for hot pot instead because it's a fun bonding experience and some hot pot restaurants have offers that is too good to refuse.

Hometown Hot Pot opened in 2015, best known for their all-you-can-eat hot pot and Korean Barbecue. I've been here 3-4 times already in the last year and it's always been a delight to eat here.

Hometown Hot Pot is super spacious with 2.5 floors of seating and beautiful and interesting decor.
The staff here are friendly, just a little strict about reservations as you must have at least 6-8 people to minimum to make a reservation.

I've never tried their Korean Barbecue so I can't say anything about it. However, I can talk about their hot pot. So first off the prices are:Hot Pot: $23.99 (per person)BBQ: $27.99 (per person)Hot Pot & BBQ: $31.99 (per person)Children under 4 1/2 feet - half price

I've been craving for Italian food and pasta for some time now. Late March, I decided to check out San Marzano in the East Village with three friends. Will was out of town, so it gave me a chance to catch up with close and old friends.

The menu at San Marzano excited me because of the food and how you can pair any type/shape of pasta with any sauce you want and only for $9.00. The pasta is also made fresh in-house, another bonus point. They only take reservations for six and up, so we couldn't make one and walked in instead. We came on a Friday night around 6:30-7PM and pretty soon the restaurant was filling up quick.
The restaurant isn't as big as I thought it would be, but I did love the chic ambiance - think low lighting and sleek decor.

We started off with the Cavicchioli Prosecco, 1928. My friend made a fantastic choice because the Prosecco had notes of flowers, apples and citrus. It paired well with our appetizers and the prosciutto in our appetizer.

Will and I bought souvenirs for our friends Sam and Alex and wanted to have a meet up/lunch with them to give them their gifts as well as give them the good news in person. They were ecstatic when they heard the news.
Sam and Alex went to Thailand last year and they had authentic Thai food. A friend of theirs mentioned Look By Plant Love House which had authentic, homey Thai food so they wanted to try it out with us.

Look By Plant Love House is an interesting addition to the neighborhood and a cute spot! There's a bar seating at the front of the restaurant and a narrow hallway past the kitchen that leads to small, but cozy seating in the back and then an outdoor space when the weather is nice like now. Our waiter was extremely friendly and helpful in explaining menu items to us. We ordered a variety of dishes and desserts:

Will and I got the Thai Ice Tea and this is something you can't NOT have since this is a Thai restaurant. I liked the Thai Ice Tea a lot, tasted fresh and…
